Could these bookshelves be repurposed as mudroom lockers? (Shelves on bottom for shoes, adding hooks for coats, and a shelf on top for hats etc?) Thx!

I would think so....the holes for the shelf pegs would show, but wouldn't be a big deal to me. I would suggest command hooks on the inside for the coats, because the screw in hooks would leave permanent holes that you may not want later.

as a mom of three boys also, I would say no, the back of this is very very thin cardboard. and the entire unit is made of particle board so shoes if wet or coats if wet would ruin shelves. I use ours as addition to our built ins.

I am a mom of three boys as well and I wouldn't recommend it....it's not heavy duty enough for the daily use (and abuse) of a mudroom.

Good idea, but May be a bit narrow for more than 2 coats depending on the size of the coats

Probably could...we use it inside next to boys bunk beds in a vacation home...just for books and clothes. It's a little narrow so I would hesitate to hang anything terribly heavy on the sides--but if you had several of them next to each other and could bind them together with a clamp or a metal bracket on the back, it would be fine. I suspect it would be fine anyway, but your call.

I suppose it would work from an appearance standpoint. I don't think there are enough shelves. Would certainly work for larger books.

This could be a cool idea. It's certainly solid enough for our shoes on the floor, but I would worry if you tried to use just 2 brackets and short little screws. I think you would be successful with several small L-shaped brackets for mounting. Because it's made of particle board you will need to use longer, small diameter screws - and pre-drill so the wood doesn't split. I would also rely on more than 2 brackets to distribute any weight/pressure on the boards - perhaps 2 on each side, top and bottom, and 1 on each shelf to support the middle. Good luck!

You could probably modify the shelves but they are preset for CD's and DVD's. But they work very well. They are lightweight so I do suggest anchoring them to the wall. Most attractive and we have received several compliments on them.

I'd describe them more as shelves. I don't know if more can be purchased, but I'm not sure how usable that would be. The shelves would end up too close or too high on the pole to make them useful for most. I like this tub organizer so much it's the second one I've bought.

Maybe 1 or 2 heavy textbooks per shelf (maybe). Would def. not recommend using it as a bookcase! i have a couple picture frames, candles, decor items on mine. We had to rig it majorly! Make sure you have a dude handy with his own tools and screws as well. The ones provided stripped extremely easily for some reason and was missing pieces. It is really cute once you get it put together though.

You'd have to use a few of the tiers. I think if you were to use all of the shelves, it would be too much. Use only what you need.

Yes, if you put them together properly, though I'd question HOW MANY books each shelf can hold without some extra reinforcement from zip ties or something. I used to keep school books in mine, but I only had maybe 3 or 4 of them on one shelf. Considering they were fairly heavy college textbooks and the shelves never came apart, I would say yes.

You should be able to but there is no way to fasten them together which would require you to be very careful when putting things onto or taking things off of the shelves. Otherwise, you might end up dumping everything off.

I don't think it's a good idea to put another bookcase on top of this one. The design is not meant to hold anything heavier then 60 lbs. If you do set another bookcase on top then I suggest you bolt them both to the wall.

Have you compared the length of the brooms, etc... with the height of the piece? If it's tall enough to hold them, I think it would be fine. I used it with shelves but I believe it would be sturdy enough to use as a broom closet.

The back is not finished and for bookshelfs they are sturdy but again the back isn't finished. I wouldn't suggest using them for that purpose.

The shelves are not moveable, they are fixed in the locations like in the photo. Not sure about adding additional shelves.

I use this for shoe storage. With books, you might have to put it against a wall or something. Remember the depth of the box is only 4.5", this might be too shallow for wider books.

Sorry...I thought that last question was for the floor bench not the hanging shelf. The cubbies in those are nice but not too deep. We keep hats inside.

Yes. There are holes where the hardware goes that attaches the shelves, but they provide "wood grained" stickers to cover those. They're really top notch shelves, and I think they'd look great anywhere. If you go over it with a magnifying glass, they may not be your first pick, but for an average user, I'm thrilled. With BOTH of them!

i can't tell from mine whether that is possible (without taking it apart, which i can't do at this time), so I'm going to have to say no. plus, that might not be sturdy, as i don't think they are made to be used in the way you describe. that said, this is a beautiful strong shelf as designed.
